National Pig Day

I know most folks think of March 1st and they think, "Lets celebrate National Pig Day."

I kind of dropped the ball on this one, because my first thoughts were "hey its March 1st, only 20 days until the first day of Spring, and maybe I have enough firewood to keep the woodstove going until the weather warms up..

The Handbook For First Year Teachers designates March 1st as "National Pig Day" and recommends teachers (Cook some bacon,make BLTs, discuss where pork chops come from.)

I was born in the Year Of The Pig, and maybe this is why I hold a special place in my heart for pigs.
Maybe this is why I look at my hand painted pig mug as if it was a priceless heirloom from days gone by.

This was painted by Ron's Mom over 30 years ago. And presented to a very select group of us, and I will deny any and all involvement in any and all actions that falsely earned us these mugs.
That was a thousand years ago and a thousand lifetimes.

I put together 10 of the most famous pigs. Do you recognise them all.
